Development Platforms 2110472 Computer Networks Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D. Department of Computer Engineering Chulalongkorn University
Outline • Overview. • J2EE Platform. • Microsoft .NET Platform. • Web Service Platform.
Overview • Static vs. dynamic pages. • Common Gateway Interface (CGI) • External extension (program) for web server. • Used mostly to connect to database. • Early days • C and perl. • Counter, guest book, graph generator. • Out-of-process model.
Basic CGI Model Web Server Process CGI Program (External) Parameters HTML page • Problem ? • Low performance • Must run a new program every time it is being invoked. • In-process model – include interpreter inside web server • mod_perl. • ASP. • Plug-in model – separate process (but already started). • External AppServer through socket.
Java Platforms • Java-Based Platforms • J2SE (Standard Edition) • JVM / JRE. • Applet and applications. • J2ME (Micro Edition) • For mobile and wireless equipment. • Midlet. • J2EE (Enterprise Edition) • A set of services. • Servlet, JSP, and EJB.
J2EE Services • Java Server Page (JSP). • Servlet. • Enterprise JavaBean (EJB). • Java Connectivity Architecture (JCA). • Java Message Service (JMS). • Java Management Extension (JMX). • Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI).
Servlet Example import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException { HTML res.setContentType( "text/html" ); ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream(); out.println( "<html>" ); out.println( "<head><title>Hello World</title></head>" ); out.println( "<body>" ); out.println( "<h1>Hello World</h1>" ); out.println( "<p>Congratulations, your servlet is working!</p>" ); out.println( "</body>" ); out.println( "</html>" ); } }
Microsoft .NET • Suite of products • Programming Languages • C#. • ASP.NET. • VB.NET. • Third parties: NetCOBOL, Visual Perl, Visual Python, etc. • Development system. • Servers. • Common Language Runtime • JVM-liked, but supporting multiple languages.
Generating Dynamic Pages • Model-View-Control Pattern • Model – data provider • Connect to the database. • View – presentation provider • Generate HTML page from Model. • Control – logic provider • Receive a request and control both View and Model.
MVC Pattern Business Logic & Presentation Database Web Server Biz Logic (Control) Database Logic (Model) Browser Presentation (View)
Benefits of MVC Pattern • Simple to Maintain • Separate business, database, and presentation logic. • Database access is encapsulated in DB logic. • Flexible presentation • Template-like system. • Simple to support more than one languages.
J2EE vs. .NET • J2EE • Multi-Platforms: Unix, Windows, and others. • Scalable and high-performance. • Complete server-level services: JMS, EJB, JCA, and others. • .NET • Multi-Languages: C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net, and others. • Good development tools: Visual Studio .NET. • Simple to develop. • Built-in supports for XML and Web services. • CLR will play a very critical role.
